Choice of paving materials. 

First, if the base surface is made of wood, gypsum board, and other moisture-absorbing materials, you must use waterproof treatment or paint with a waterproof interface agent before laying the waterjet marble mosaic. Of course, you can also choose the special viscose powder and emulsion for waterjet marble mosaic to paste directly. Second, if the base surface is made of steel material such as metal plate, high-flexible adhesive or polyurethane glue should be used when laying waterjet marble mosaics. Third, if the base surface is often wet, such as external walls, toilets, showers, swimming pools, and various pools, high-performance two-component anti-slip cement-based adhesives should be used. Fourth, when laying thick waterjet marble mosaics on the wall, and hand-cutting waterjet marble mosaic puzzles with irregular edges, a high-performance, flexible, and anti-vertical slip adhesive should be used. Fifth, the choice of grout and color for waterjet marble mosaics is best based on the designer’s opinion, because different color grouts will greatly interfere with the original color of the mosaic and produce different color effects. For jigsaw waterjet marble mosaics with more colors, the color of the grout has a greater impact on the jigsaw effect. It is recommended to use a transparent or translucent epoxy grout to ensure the best effect of the mosaic. In places where the exterior walls are often damp, such as kitchens, bathrooms, showers, balconies, swimming pools, and various pools, it is best to use anti-mold and water-repellent grout or epoxy grout.

Paving skills. 

First, it is the base surface treatment. It is necessary to reserve about 3 mm thicker than the thickness of the waterjet marble mosaic, and comprehensive cleaning work should be done before paving. Secondly, in the pre-laying stage. Before installing the waterjet marble mosaic, it should be pre-laid according to the construction and installation drawings. When the area is large, the numbered schematic diagram should be combined. Third, when laying waterjet marble mosaics, apply a special adhesive evenly on the base layer with a thickness of 2 mm. Align the single mosaics with the gaps according to the drawings, and place them on the brushed adhesive. Then place a flat thick wooden board on the mosaic surface and beat it evenly with a rubber hammer to ensure a firm bond. Fourth, in the jointing stage, after the moisture is moderately dried and has the initial strength, use a wooden or rubber spatula to pour the jointing agent into the gaps of the mosaic. After the caulking agent is filled, the moisture has been properly dried and has the initial strength, then the cleaning can be started.
